Talk:Saint Elmo, Colorado

Untitled

If anybody has suggestions please let me know.

Just wondering who are the year round residents and what do they do? Do they work for the tourism of the town or do they actually live there? Good article though! Informative and interesting, yet short enough to read quicky and get a good idea of what the place is like. Lisakoll (talk) 04:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)lisakoll

Did the historical district ceased to exist?

Is there a historical district here or not? Now that the template's been removed, there's no mention of it in the article. Did the historical distrct cease to exist?? I'm assuming the editor who removed the template is correctin that the districat does not encompass the whole town (what there appears to be of it). However, the editor gave no proof of this such as a link with that info, and did not add any metnion of the district into the article. I seriously doubt there's enough notable material for two articles, one on the town, and one on the district. I know absoulutely nothing about the town or district, and really don't have the desire to wade into to this either. If someone want to create a separate article on the district itself, then fine. But until then, should we not have atleast a paragraph about the district in this aritle? (That's assuming they are even in the same place - I'm not sure, given the lack of reliable sources here.) - BillCJ (talk) 04:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

No reason not to include something about the district. However, the infobox that I removed is intended only for the articles on the listings themselves; if we included them on other articles, Mechanicsburg, Ohio (a small village with 22 separate listings) would be overflowing with infoboxes. My proof is the boundaries given by the NRHP: only properties on "Pitkin, Gunnison, 1st, Main, and Poplar Sts." are listed, so other parts of the community aren't. As far as "enough material" — there's so much data produced about all NRHP sites in all states that they're notable, and coverage by sources that we consider reliable appears to be practically necessary to become eligible for listing on the Register. Don't worry about there being too few sources — whether they're primarily online or primarily in print, there's plenty of information. And don't worry about "same place" — the coordinates provided by the NRHP show that this district is in what's now the community. Nyttend (talk) 04:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Reverting myself: now that I read the nomination form, it becomes obvious that this district includes the entire community. Moreover, http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/co/Chaffee/districts.html provides more information — it's not the most reliable in general, but one can trust the area-and-number-of-structures data, and surely this district couldn't include over 1.1 square miles and 43 buildings without including the entirety of the community.

Two "belled" buildings

I was in St Elmo today; saw the Town Hall with the bell on top of the building... but also saw a second building that was equipped with a bell. (You can click here to see an image: https://goo.gl/maps/h1ZSp3kFtmhYb4LY8 )

This enquiring Wikipedia reader would like to know: what was that second belled building? (Probably a schoolhouse or a church.) 72.168.176.108 (talk) 08:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
